nosebag

“I could eat a stag, antlers and all. I say, they do a wonderful nosebag for us wounded heroes, y’know. Just watch this, m’lad.”

The cylindrical shape of a leather tote referenced a horse’s feeder nosebag, and utilitarian cargo pockets were sprinkled liberally throughout.

The reins, the halters, the blinkers, the degrading nosebags, were thrown on to the rubbish fire which was burning in the yard.

But now the hungry horse is their responsibility and it is gobbling from the agency’s shrinking nosebag.

Who wouldn't want good seats at Covent Garden or Wembley or Lord's, with a "nosebag" thrown in?
